THE BERLIN BUDGET.
BERLIN, Sept. 24-The Reichstag
viii reconVene on the 18th of Novem-
Der. 1t is now clear that the leading
domestic question which will be con-
sidered is the revision of the article of
the Constitution fixing the duration of
Parliament. The leaders of the Ma
tional Liberals took the initiative step
in 1867 in the debate on the Constitution
OF North German confederation are
proposlna the extension of the period
of the ReichStag. In 1880 the question
was again discussed but without re-
suit. The government then proposed
to prolong the Reichstag from three to
five years, but only obtained uncertain
support. Now, however, the situation
is changed. Tie National Liberals are
again an important factor. The gov
eminent groups will renew the pro-
posal of a five year Parliament and the
- Tl-,s1
support it. Prince Bismarck privately
prompts and will openly indorse the
proposal, which cannot fail to obtain a
decisive majority. The measure will
not, however, pass without keen and
bitter opposition from the ProgressistS
who foresee in the transition from trien-
NAL to quiennai Parliaments, the road
toward triennial budgets, leaving the
Government unrestricted in the use of
the national funds.
Another project for consideration in
the Reichstag that is certain to raise eX-
cited opposition IS the Conservative
proposal to abrogate the law against
the Socialists, which law expires on
the 30th of September 1888. The So
cialists need hope for nothing, as a bill
VIII be substituted extending and in
creasing in severity the laws Relating
to the associations and the press. The
VOssiche Zeitang says that instead OF
relaxing repression the project means
that the exceptional laws affecting the
socialists will he converted into laws
against all the opposition parties.
Nothing really definite is as yet known
regarding the scope of the bill. The
leaders of the ministerial groups are
reported to be in agreement on the
measure. There is reason to hope that
the ProgreSSiSts press eXaggerateS the
character of the proposals, which, if
truly stated, show tyrannous
exercise of the power of the ma
jority that may lead to revolution
| of feeling throughout the empire.
The relations existing between Ger
many and France at present are less ir-
ritating than for some time past.

TO BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED.
| BERLIN, Sept. 26.-An official order
| has been sent to Strasburg for de-
tailed report of the foreign affairs.

line where the shooting occurred is
very irregular and apt to mislead
one. Count Herbert Bismarck, Secre-
| tary of the Foreign Office, has sent a
note to the French embassy suggesting
an early communication of the results
Of the official inquiry, and the French
minister is authorized to promise
ample justice and indemnity if Ger
